Dilemma after R2I
Posted: Tue Apr 05, 2011 11:26 pm
We decided on R2I this year. In fact my family is back in Bangalore going through school admissions right now. Our plan is my family will shift this year and I will shift next year.
The dilemma I have is my current company has no openings in bangalore. So I will have to leave my job here and search for a new one. I am 50 yrs old. So I am not sure whether I will get another job.
I am thinking of retiring ( or semi retire at least)
My question is
- How to handle the social pressure from your family and relatives if you retire at 50?
- What if I retire and in a year or two I get bored and want to return to work? How will I find work then?
- People who have retired before normal retirement age - How do you spend your time? Do you regret retiring?
- I am not short of hobbies - Marathon running, violin playing, writing short stories on blogs etc. They are interesting when I have a steady job and I do it in my spare time. I don't know if I will enjoy those activities full time
- Don't know if my spouse will like me at home all the time. This will be a new experience for her. My kids love the idea.
- What if in future I have health problems and the current savings are not enough?
So you can see my dilemma. Any advice or experiences would be helpful to soothe my mind.
